We tried to evaluate the carcinogenic risk of man-made mineral fiber based on the mesothelioma incidence in female F344 rats after intraperitoneal administration. Rats (female F344/ Nslc, 5-week-old, n=330) were observed for 2 years after the intraperitoneal administration of 5 to 20 mg of 9 types of the JFM (Japan Fibrous Material Research Association) standard fiber samples (glass wool, rock ...

Organic modification of nano-SiO2 particles was performed with supercritical CO2 as solvent and a titanate coupling reagent NDZ-201 as the modification reagent. The surface of the nano-SiO2 particles was changed after modification by the titanate coupling reagent from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. IR and thermo-gravimetric analyses indicate that the interaction between the titanate coupling reage...

A comparing study on formation and microstructure features of aluminum titanate is investigated through both solid-state and sol-gel processes. Aluminum titanate formed by firing at 1350ºC and 1450ºC for 4h in solid-state process. In the sol-gel process formation of submicron sized particles is followed by addition of sucrose into the transparent sol. XRD analysis was confirmed the formation of...

Barium titanate is a member of a large family of compounds with the general formula ABO3 called perovskites, as the crystal size of barium titanate increases and at critical crystalline size crystal structure of barium titanate transformed from cubic to tetragonal. Transformation of crystal structure is also take place at Curi temperature. Cubic structure show paramagenatic behavior while tetra...

A peralkaline granite of the Ilimaussaq Complex, South Greenland, contains rare mineral henrymeyerite [(Ba0.92Na0.05Ca0.03)1.0(Ti6.87Fe2+1.04Nb0.03)7.9O16], a low-Fe Ba titanate [(Ba0.74Ca0.02Na0.05)0.8 (Ti4.9oFe2+0.15Nb0.04)5.1O11], and an unidentified titanosilicate. Both titanates show coupled substitution 2Na+ + Si4+ → Ba2+ Ti4+. The minerals are present as tiny crystals fringing ilmenite i...

Fire disaster is the major factor to endanger the public and environmental safety. People lost their life during fire disaster mainly be attributed to the dense smoke and toxic gas under combustion, which hinder the escape of people and the rescue of firefighters under fire disaster. The smoke suppression effect of several transitional metals oxide on the epoxy resin treated with intumescent fl...
